'''Artificial intelligence''' (AI) is a field of computer science that produces systems designed to solve problems that humans typically solve using intelligence. In the consumer and industry space, it is commonly referred to as chatbots or [[wikipedia:Large language model|large language models]] (LLMs), which have been a main focus of industry since the November 2022 launch of [[OpenAI]]'s [[ChatGPT]], with tens of billions of dollars in funding allocated to producing more popular LLMs. This is also a significant focus on [[wikipedia:Text-to-image model|text-to-image models]], which "draw" an image using a written prompt, and less commonly, [[wikipedia:Text-to-video model|text-to-video models]], which extend the text-to-image concept across several smooth video frames. | '''Artificial intelligence''' ('''AI''') is a field of computer science that produces systems designed to solve problems that humans typically solve using intelligence.

AI is not a new concept; it has been of interest since the 1950s. AI is a catch-all term, encompassing many areas and techniques. | AI is not a new concept; it has been of interest since the 1950s. AI is a catch-all term, encompassing many areas and techniques. | ||

Due to heavy investments into and increased use of generative AI and LLMs, many data centers have been constructed to host LLMs. These data centers consume large amounts of power and water, in order to power and cool the computer systems running the models. Residents that live in cities where AI data centers have been constructed have complained of an increase in their electricity bills despite no change in their personal usage.<sup>[<nowiki/>[[Consumer Rights Wiki:Verifiability|citation needed]]]</sup> According to a research video by Benn Jordan, these data centers (as well as fracking operations and natural occurrences) cause a high amount of sound pollution, which can cause various symptoms.<ref> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bP80DEAbuo ([https://preservetube.com/watch?v=_bP80DEAbuo Archived])</ref> | Due to heavy investments into and increased use of generative AI and LLMs, many data centers have been constructed to host LLMs. These data centers consume large amounts of power and water, in order to power and cool the computer systems running the models.

Most AI apps include an initial "root"/"system" prompt given to the AI, which is hidden from the user. Some corporations go to great lengths to keep those prompts hidden, and to avoid leaking it to the user. Some projects attempt to bring back transparency to these tools, in spite of the restrictions.<ref>https://github.com/elder-plinius/CL4R1T4S</ref> | |||
